Lecture titled ‘Father Mathew / the motives inspiring his temperance work’ given at the annual meeting of the Father Mathew Temperance Hall, Queen’s Street, Cork. The text is probably by Fr. Thomas Dowling OSFC (1874-1951). The lecture reads: ‘This annual meeting occurs at the beginning of a year that will prove ever-memorable in the annals of history – 1919, the year of the World’s Peace Conference. The echoes of this mighty world war are still with us. But whilst it is true that its numerical dimensions dwarfed all past records, yet it is equally true that no individual in the world’s history ever marshalled a mighty force as Fr. Mathew did, [and] … in his movement there was no compulsion or conscription, yet his army totalled 10,000,000’.
